Sigma sd14. err 1 appears after i press shutter camera makes a beep but no pic

I have a D80 since 2 years and since last 1 week have been getting the 'Err' message. Initially, after referring to the manual & pressing the shutter release button, the camera responded only ONCE. i.e. the 'Err' message disappeared and the pics were SEEN on the screen (which means the shutter was working). Now, even that has stopped. I'm not able to click any pictures (although the mirror moves) and certain specific menus & other buttons on the body dont work.
Now on pressing the shutter re

Hi sandeepbhat2, On page 129 of the D80 manual is the factory reset switch. Look on the left side of the camera there is the terminal cover, inside below the USB connector is a small reset button. Give that a try. If still it does not work you should ...

When i turn on my camera, the lense comes out, fluxuates in and out, beeps and goes back inside the camera sutting off. Sometimes the shutter sticks and will not close comepletely? Will dut or grit make the shutter do this? How do i fix it? .......Same problem with mine,I can only use the playback mode when I press the on/off & > button simultaneously. Could this be a manufacturers fault? My camera is over 2 years old, so has no warranty

The shutter lens to the Samsung Digimax S500 Digital Camera will not go back in to the camera and when I press the power button the camera makes a couple of beeping sounds and cut off leaving the lens in out of the camera.

Focus camera will not focus, even sight screen is out of focus
The camera will not focus. When switched on it beeps with a flashing green light near rthe view-finder and the lens housing extends. This repeats and the then the viewing screen goes blank. Pressing the AEL button will illuminate the viewing screen, but it is out of focus. Half depression of the shutter makes no difference. I had previously some intermittent operation of the zoom mechanism. The camera has not been dropped or jarred.

Your camera is having a problem positioning the lens unit, more than likely the cause is grit/dirt in mechanism, I recommend that you take the camera to a autorised service agent to have it stripped, cleaned and rebuilt. This is not really a repair t ...

Camera shuts down after shutter button is pressed. It shuts down halfway through the shutter operation.
Everything else works fine-reviewing pictures, settings in menu, focusing, exposure settings etc.
The camera focuses ok when the shutter button is half pressed then when you press the shutter button fully, the mirror goes up, shutter appears to open then the camera shuts down with no power.
Only way to get mirror etc back to normal is to remove the battery and refit. When camera is turned b

Hi my camera as the lens stuck it makes an error sound of 2 beeps followed by 3 beeps if i press and hold the on button and then press the on button it makes the first 2 beeps lights the lcd screen where you ca read ver. 1.02 and switches of with the 3 beep error and switches back off. any idea??? thanks in advance

I was in the middle of shooting a wedding, when suddenly my camera said that it was 'busy' - it was taking a while to go back to normal, so I decided to shut the camera off and just turn it back on again (I didn't mind loosing the last image). When I turned the camera back on... all of the sudden the shutter kept going off extremely fast (without me pressing the shutter button). I turned the camera back off, but the shutter kept going off. I freaked out and too the battery out to make it stop.

Did you remove batteries for a couple of minutes, that is the first thing to do. ...

I had my D5000 for a month now, recently i noticed something with my camera. looking though the viewfinder only, whenever i focus (half pressing the shutter button), the view from the viewfinder moves up, and without making the shot and letting go the half-pressed shutter button, the view from the viewfinder then moves down to its original position. These movements are noticeable just through the viewfinder with the VR on. But without the VR, the view from the viewfinder makes no movement. i don

Welcome to the real world of photography, using the viewfinder is a whole new experience in the crating of fine photographs. Aside from this what you are actually seeing is the VR turning on and locking onto the target, you should actually feel this ...

Help!!!!!!!!! I had just got my camera on my birthday from my sister who had it before me. It didn't come with a manual. I had just put a mp3 on it. I pressed some kind of button by a mistake and a key appeared on my camera screen. Not a big one, just a little one. Then, I couldn't do anything. None of the keys worked because it locked. Then my camera went to sleep. I pressed a button and it said Press shutter key then display key to unlock. I don't know how to fix it. Yes, I know it sa

White Screen Upon startup lens emerges but when screen appears it is white whereas it normally displays whatever the lens sees. When the shutter button is pressed the camera will focus and take a white picture which can be deleted. The camera does not flash although flash is set to automatic and photo taken in a dark room. Camera flashes (weakly) with flash set to manual on. Lens is unobstructed and appears to be perfectly normal. Camera was not dropped. Batteries have been changed.

Hi,
I'm an amateur with cameras & I just bought this camera - canon powershot sx130 IS and I just tried it out. When I press the shutter halfway I only hear one beep and I'm supposed to hear two beeps (according to the manual). I've tried every possible scenario and still only one beep. Should I be worried??
Thanks, Winnie

Every camera I've ever worked with only beeped once to confirm the focus lock. If your camera still takes in focus pictures, I would say "don't worry...be happy". ...

The camera was taking pictures a few days ago. The yesterday I went to take a picture and a blank screen came up but when I hit the shutter button in the view finder it would say "busy" and it would make a shutter noise the beep and not take a picture. Now it won't do anything. no screen picture. no beep. no shutter. no "busy". dead as a door nail.

Hi there, the lens detector in your camera circuit board is damaged or short. That's why its fully dead now. Try these for a luck. Remove the lens & power on the camera. Is any movement? if not then I suggest you please visit nearest Canon servic ...

My camera hasn't been used for over a year or two now and the reason being is that when you press the shutter release button ...it makes the sound for half press but no matter how hard you press the button the picture is unable to be taken...What's the matter?? Is there any idea how much it would cost to repair or rather get a new camera??

So the camera is at least two years old- that means it will cost more to repair than it would to buy a better new camera. Prices have been falling and specs rising dramatically, so don't throw money at this old camera. Sell it (as faulty) on eBay, an ...

Clicking problem When I press and click the button the shutter fires and then a message will appear in the LCD saying that press the click button.And then if you off the camera and on the camera you can fire again. It is a new camera.

May be a weak subject to focus or the flash is not ready when you press the button. Try it with a contrast bright subject for as many times as possible. If the problem persists turn off the camera and reset the camera using the b ...

I own a canon s2 is power shot. Symptoms began with the digital zoom beeping and the screen going blank when invoked to draw an image closer. After a periood of time of avoiding the zoom, the camera lense stuck inside and gave an e18 message when beeping. I could still survey old pics but can't take new pics as the screen is blank and the lense won't come out. The warranty expired 10 months ago, I've tried forced air, changing batteries and mem card and pressing on the lense. The lense is off to

Err I keep getting Err up on the screen when i press the shutter and nothing happens. Then after a while, the shutter will click loads of times and it will be working again as normal. What is wrong with my camera?

The ERR message is not a good thing. Read page 132 of the D80 Manual. Also, try a factory reset found on page 129 of the manual. On the left side of the camera is the terminal cover, inside below the USB connector is the reset switch. If that does no ...
